Wallabies' back Kurtley Beale has been fined A$3,000 (€2,100) for his in-flight row with former team business manager Di Patston but escaped further sanction in the latest instalment of a scandal that plunged Australian rugby into crisis.

Former Wallabies official Di Patston is on heavy medication after quitting her job amid an explosive scandal over "offensive" text messages sent by utility back Kurtley Beale, coach Ewen McKenzie said on Tuesday.
